Signs Your Restaurant May Need Pest Control

Food environments are naturally attractive to rodents and insects, particularly around waste storage, delivery points and kitchen areas. Acting quickly protects your hygiene rating and prevents disruption to trade.

Look out for:

  • Droppings or gnaw marks in storage or kitchen areas

  • Cockroach sightings near warm appliances or drains

  • Increased fly activity around food prep zones or bins

  • Wasps gathering near outdoor seating or entrances

  • Unexplained contamination or damaged stock

If you notice any of these warning signs, contact us immediately for professional restaurant pest control in Ashford and Kent.

Drains and waste systems are common access points for pests in restaurants. We assess potential entry routes and environmental factors that may contribute to recurring issues. By addressing these risks early, we help protect your hygiene rating and reduce future incidents.
